Some people, I'm not saying who, are bigoted against numbers that aren't in the real set.
Woot! Down with letter-appropriating imaginary "numbers"!
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

I'm a big fan of quantum mechanics, so imaginary numbers don't present much of a problem. The thing I love about quantum mechanics is the ability to perfectly predict experiments and not have a clue what the fuck is actually going on.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And it's been well-known for some time that MJ was not the bio father of his first two kids, and probably not of the third, for that matter.
It is? I was wondering, but I didn't think I knew that official.
I think its commonly assumed. In the few pictures of MJ's kids they appear to be very light-skinned -- but a lot of mixed race people are very light skinned. I don't know that he ever had a press release about it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I hear the biggest haters of quantum mechanics are the cat census takers.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
This is way off topic-- but
My city's bus website has this feature called "Next Bus" where you put in the time and your stop, and it tells you the next five buses coming to that stop.
Until last week, when it started giving you the PREVIOUS five buses. The buses you HAVE ALREADY MISSED.
So to get the next bus, I have to change the time incrementally until I get some buses that are after the current time. I just had to do "next bus" for 6:10 in order to see that a bus is coming at 5:44.
I actually emailed them to let them know, but I got no response and it is driving me nuts!
Maybe they are using imaginary numbers?

They should just use imaginary numbers to model the cats in indeterminate states.

I know! That's the awesomest.
